Jeff S Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Has anyone come up with a means to take pictures through a large port or sliding window in Savannah S door? Without removing the door for flight?
JG3 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Has anyone come up with a means to take pictures through a large port or sliding window in Savannah S door? Without removing the door for flight? This is how I did it for my early Savannah StolSpeed Aerodynamics - Performance Enhancement for Light Aircraft Photos aren't very clear, but if you need more info just ask. Works really well and I've used it a lot. 2 1 1

Kyle Communications Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 The doors in the S have a lot more curve in them...more bubble like. You would need to make a frame to support the shape
Jeff S Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 How about mounting the S doors on tracks, so that the entire door can be unlatched and slid aft?
Kyle Communications Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 You wont clear the flap connections
eightyknots Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I am sure fitting it to a Savannah S is going to be more of a challenge.
Rodr Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Maybe consider a smaller window opening than the first post with similar mechanics , problem you would have a hinge in the top section of the door that would be visible continuously something about the size of a iPad mini not sure how well the hinge would cooperate with that small curve. I fly with door removed for any specific photo shoots as we don't do it that often.
mcrowley Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I wonder about utilizing the snap vent hole, too small? Could you add one to the upper panel at the appropriate height for a camera lense to protrude?
Rodr Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 That's the idea maybe someone to manufacture a clear piece with the concave form. Could use a hole either round or semi round with the piece slightly larger circumference and have a couple of snap in levers to hold in place.
Xavier Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Would love to have this on my VG and would be on the market for a set if someone was keen to make it in Oz !
